Rep. Rogers On U.S. Strategic Approach To The People’s Republic Of China

WASHINGTON – Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Ala.), House Homeland Security Committee ranking member, today released the following statement after the White House released its strategic approach to the people’s republic of China.

“The Chinese Communist Party represents an existential threat to democratic values across the globe. Their totalitarian rule crushes human rights, undermines democratic institutions, and threatens our way of life. I am proud that President Trump has laid out this strategy to combat the Chinese Communist Party’s strategic ambitions and defend democratic interests around the world. China’s policy of targeting critical infrastructure, exploiting America’s world-class educational institutions, and state-sponsored intellectual property theft will continue to present a challenge that the Department of Homeland Security, Department of Defense, and other federal agencies will combat for the foreseeable future.

“I will continue to work with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to address these threats to American freedom.”

.@DHSgov law enforcement officers are stepping up again. 600+ personnel from @CBP @ICEgov and @TSA were deployed to stand shoulder to shoulder with @SecretService, Federal Protective Service, and other federal & local law enforcement in DC last night.

USBP is deploying agents to key locations across the Nation to protect peaceful protesters & help our LE partners restore law & order. Protecting America at our borders & beyond is what we do. Don’t worry, we adjusted to make sure the border is still secure! #HonorFirst
